Chapter 751: On the set
When the eleven girls finished twenty push-ups and got up from the ground in agony, the practice class was really over. In the eyes of a group of girls who didn't know whether it was resentment or grievance, Xiao Yao officially ended the practice class, said goodbye to everyone and left the practice room.
Although the follow-up team has made Xiao Yao the main follow-up object in the past two days, this is the group variety show of the 101 women's group after all, and the content they follow Xiao Yao is all related to the women's group. After this practice class, Xiao Yao's contact with the women's group came to an end temporarily. So when Xiao Yao left, the follow-up team didn't have to follow the shooting anymore.
The next all-hands practice is scheduled for the next week. In the next few days, Xiao Yao did not come to the practice room to give guidance to individual or some of the members of the girl group. After coming out of the practice room, Xiao Yao played in Hangzhou for another half day, and returned to Shencheng by high-speed train early the next morning.
Not long after arriving in Shencheng, Xiao Yao was still on his way back from the station to his residence when he received a call from Zhaodi. came to Zhaodi's call to reply to Xiao Yao's invitation to make a cameo role in the crew.
On the way to the supermarket the day before yesterday, Xiao Yao invited Zhao Di to play a cameo role in the crew, and Zhao Di fed back the news to the agency that night. The TV series project of Shenju has also caused a lot of topic heat, and there is also news on the Internet that some stars have made cameos in the crew. It is of course a good thing to be able to make a cameo appearance in that crew and show her face on TV in the future. After confirming this matter through Meng Yuan, and learning that Xiao Yao sent an invitation to Zhaodi in person on the show, the brokerage company was of course happy to see it.
However, according to the original itinerary, Lai Zhaodi had an announcement itinerary on the day Xiao Yao said.
Xiao Yao himself was invited, and it should not be a problem to coordinate the schedule with the crew, and renegotiate a time to go to the crew to play individual roles. It's just that they learned that Xiao Yao himself was going to the crew to play a cameo role that day, and if he changed the time, Xiao Yao would probably not be there. In comparison, of course, it is better to shoot on the same day as Xiao Yao, appear in the same episode, or even in the same scene. So in the end, the brokerage company decided to adjust Zhaodi's itinerary for the sake of the cameo role, and let Zhaodi and Xiao Yao go to make a cameo together.
The original announcement itinerary was set in advance, and if you want to change the itinerary at the last minute, you also need to negotiate with the other party. After a day of communication and negotiation, the brokerage company successfully adjusted Laizhaodi's itinerary and freed up the day's time for Laizhaodi.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be contacted by the brokerage company and the crew, but Xiao Yao was originally the chief planner and producer of the TV series project, and it was an invitation sent by Xiao Yao himself, so the brokerage company asked Zhaodi to call Xiao Yao himself and reply to this matter.
After Xiao Yao returned to Shencheng, there was nothing particularly important and urgent, and one of his most recent jobs was to go to the crew tomorrow to play a cameo role. After receiving a call from Zhao Di and knowing that she would come to Shencheng tomorrow, Xiao Yao went home and put her luggage and went directly to the set of the crew.
After arriving at the set, the crew was filming, Xiao Yao didn't bother, and stood quietly to the side and watched for a while. It wasn't until the break between the two scenes that Xiao Yao gathered the relevant personnel and told them that he would have one more guest star in his scene tomorrow and change an actor.
This crew did not invite actors and extras, the six protagonists and the supporting roles with slightly more scenes are all acting students of Shen Opera, and the other role and group roles are generally guest appearances by various staff such as makeup artists and prop masters in the crew, except for the guest stars invited. Everyone is a student of Shen Opera, even if they are not studying acting, it is no problem to make a cameo appearance in a role of a trick and a group performance.
When Xiao Yao sent out an invitation in the car that day, he had already thought of a cameo role for Zhaodi in his heart, which was the role of a restaurant waiter in the scene he participated in. That role is not important, it is a tricky role, originally a makeup artist in the crew was asked to make a cameo, Xiao Yao wants to change to an idol star to play, naturally there is no problem.
Since the celebrity has been invited, of course, it can't be wasted. Even if it is a cameo, Xiao Yao feels that he still needs to add a little bit of child's play to others. Of course, there won't be a lot of this kind of drama. A scene is still a scene, but it has changed from no lines to a few lines, from the original appearance for a few seconds to a few minutes, which will not have a big impact on the overall plot.
Since the screenwriter happened to be in the crew during today's shooting, Xiao Yao simply called the director and screenwriter together and revised the script on the spot.
The crew's decision to invite celebrities to guest roles was not decided before the script was completed, but an idea that Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan came up with later. Of course, in order to ensure the integrity of the plot and the quality of the whole play, the cameo roles of these stars are all limited to the role of the dragon with very few scenes. The crew also invited some celebrities to make cameos before, so this kind of plot of modifying the characters for the sake of stars is not the first time they have done it. It didn't take much time, and they got it done.
After revising the script, Xiao Yao asked the assistant director of the crew who was responsible for the coordination of the actors to contact the agency of the 101 girl group, sent the revised script over, docked the work, and determined the arrival time of the other party tomorrow, so that the crew could make corresponding arrangements.
After these things were arranged, Xiao Yao had nothing to do for the time being. After the crew started filming, Xiao Yao, the chief planner and chief producer, rarely came. finally came once, Xiao Yao did not leave immediately, but stayed on the set until the crew finished work.
Xiao Yao is an investor producer, that is, the boss of the crew, and the staff in the crew are all his classmates and alumni, so if he was caught once, of course everyone would not let him go easily. After finishing work, the whole group collectively coaxed Boss Xiao to dinner, and Xiao Yao was also very generous and had a blood and invited the whole group to supper.
Slaughtering Xiao Yao, the classmate boss, everyone is not polite. Even though it was a late-night snack, the meal was quite hearty. However, because there is still a shooting task tomorrow, Xiao Yao himself will also make a cameo role to participate in the shooting, so although this dinner supper was lively, he didn't drink much wine, and it ended relatively early.
The next morning, Xiao Yao did not go to the airport to pick up Zhaodi, who flew from Yanjing, but went directly to the set of the theater, watching the crew filming while waiting for Zhaodi's arrival.
Although Xiao Yao personally invited him to Zhaodi, he also did not reach the level of needing to pick him up in person. Whether she found the set herself according to the address, or the crew sent someone to pick it up, the relevant personnel of the crew were responsible, and Xiao Yao did not need to come forward and worry about it.
It wasn't too late to come to Zhaodi, and she arrived on the set before noon. When she arrived, the crew was filming work. Xiao Yao is also the producer of the crew, and he was invited by his relationship, so he stepped forward to welcome her arrival instead of the director.
Before coming to Zhaodi, she had only filmed a MV, and she had not yet joined the group to film, so she was very curious about the things in the crew, so Xiao Yao explained to her in a whisper, and introduced some of the rules in the crew by the way.
Lai Zhaodi didn't have much pomp and circumstance to come to the crew this time, but she just brought an assistant and an executive agent. When Xiao Yao came to Zhaodi and said that the director was the biggest in the crew, and he, the producer, did not dare to disturb the director's work at will, the executive agent only glanced at Xiao Yao and did not speak.
After the filming of the crew's scene, the director also came over to get to know Zhaodi officially and welcomed her. The directors of this crew are all newcomers who are not well-known, and their attitude towards actors is good. However, when it comes to specific work, the director still has his own insistence. According to the crew's shooting plan, the next scene has not yet arrived at the scene where Xiao Yao and Zhao Di appeared, and the director was not ready to disrupt the shooting plan for the two of them and shoot the scene in advance for the sake of the two, but invited Zhao Di to wait like Xiao Yao.
Lai Zhaodi didn't know much about this aspect, so she naturally looked at the agent who came with her. The agent had the heart to say something, but when she looked at Xiao Yao standing next to her, when she heard that Xiao Yao had been waiting all morning, she finally swallowed back what she wanted to say, and said with a smile that there was no problem. The director is a newcomer, but Xiao Yao is not a newcomer. Anyway, the company has already vacated the time for Zhaodi today, and she has no need to give Xiao Yao the impression that she is here to play a big name.
After there was no problem with the communication here, the director then beckoned the crew to shoot the next scene. Lai Zhaodi is a newcomer who has never acted, and he only knows Xiao Yao as an acquaintance in the crew, so he was naturally taken aside by Xiao Yao to communicate quietly.
"Have you read the script?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile after finding two folding stools for the two of them to sit down.
"I've seen it!" Zhao Di nodded, and beckoned the assistant to take out the script from her bag.
"Do you feel that there are too few scenes?" Xiao Yao continued, "The guest stars we invited are all roles, and there are not many scenes. I don't have a lot of roles in my role. ”
"It's not too little!" Lai Zhaodi shook her head and said with a frown, "I haven't filmed, so I don't know what to play in this role." ”
"It's okay, the assistant director will tell you the drama before filming, and the director will also guide you during filming!" Xiao Yao smiled and comforted, "Just a few lines, a few minutes of footage, not as long as the shot of your MV!"
"Don't talk about shooting MV!" Lai Zhaodi covered her face and said, "When we shoot MV, people have done it once, and I have to repeat it several times every time, and in the first MV last year, I shot a shot more than a dozen times, and I collapsed!"
"Shoot a dozen and collapse?" Xiao Yao smiled, "You know my mother Ye Jiaying, right? Her highest record is that she has shot more than 30 back and forth in a scene, what is the matter with you shooting a dozen or so?"
"Really?" Lai Zhaodi of course knew Ye Jiaying, and asked in surprise when she heard this.
"Of course it's true!" Xiao Yao said, "And she was already a movie queen at that time! You haven't filmed before, it's normal to shoot a dozen shots in one shot!"
"Senior, do you have to sell a relative or friend by the way every time you comfort someone?" Zhao Di said with a smile, "It's a pity that this is not a reality show, and there is no camera to record it, otherwise would you want to cut it out and stop broadcasting?"
"Uh~" Xiao Yao smiled, "I also want to take myself as an example." But I'm not lying, since I started acting, I really haven't shot more than ten shots!"
"Cut~ Look at you proud!" came to Zhao Di pouted, "I know you are a cow, you have won the best newcomer actor in TV and movies, but you have only acted in a few plays in total, can you compare with Teacher Ye Jiaying?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yao smiled and changed the subject, "Our scene is estimated to be filmed in the afternoon." At noon, the crew only has a boxed lunch, if you don't want to eat, I can find someone to help you order, or invite you out to eat!"
"You invite me?" asked Laizhaodi.
"Well, the crew can be reimbursed!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Invite me to dinner and still have to find reimbursement from the crew?" Zhao Di pouted, "Aren't you an investor? Isn't your own money the same as the crew's money?"
"Of course it's different," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "The stars we invited to make cameos were all friendly and unpaid." If you don't give money, you have to give people a better meal, and you can't be too harsh on others, right? So the crew has specially prepared a budget for inviting guest stars to dinner! This drama is a company investment, but it is not my money alone, and the money of Zhao Rui and his shareholders. ”
"Oh~ You even take advantage of your brother?" said Zhao Di with a disgusted face.
"It's not taking advantage!" Xiao Yao said, "In the future, this drama will make money, and they will also have money! This is called a brother, settle accounts! You are here to make a cameo appearance in the crew, so the crew should pay for it." Yesterday I came to the crew to play for a day, everyone asked me to have a treat, I invited the crew to have a supper, that is, I paid for it myself!"
"Okay, I don't understand anyway!" Lai Zhaodi nodded, "I don't pay much attention to food, I will eat whatever you eat at noon!"
"Is it okay to have a boxed lunch?" Xiao Yao asked.
"If you can eat it, I can eat it!" Zhao Di nodded.
"It's so easy to dismiss!" Xiao Yao smiled, "It seems that I have invited the right person!"
"I don't think you've invited the right person!" Zhao Di raised the script in his hand and said, "I really don't know the bottom of my heart, why don't you teach me how to act for a while?"
"Yes, I'll play against you first!" Xiao Yao said, "But there is no real thing here, so I can only play against you." ”
"Okay, then come on!" Zhaodi opened the script, and then looked at Xiao Yao strangely, "What about your script?"
"Here!" Xiao Yao pointed to his head, "I just have a few lines, I have already memorized them!"
"But I don't seem to have a conversation with more than one person!" said Lai Zhaodi, "Which role do you play? Do you want to see the lines of other characters?"
"I play a guest at a meal, and I don't have a direct conversation with you!" Xiao Yao said, "But I memorized all the scripts of this scene, and I know all the characters' actions and lines!"
